File Sorting - Limited To One Level Now / Windows 7 Won't Let Apply That Second Level Of Sorting?
May 9, 2011In Vista, I was able to sort files by date created, highlight the files I want, then sort again by name, and all the files I selected previously would still be highlighted, but now they're in numerical order. Win 7 won't let me apply that second level of sorting. It's either name or date, but not both.

Mar 25, 2011I would like to put all my single tracks (where there is no whole album) into one album in Windows Media Library. I know there is an option to set "Various artits" under the album artist for all these tracks, and to set a real artist under the contributing artists, so that would made WMP to keep it in in one album in library. But when I'm burning my CDs, copying these mp3 files somewhere else, or in general working with them outside WMP, I want to keep album artist under file properties=>details empty.

Explorer Sorting - Folders Always On Top?
Nov 29, 2010When sorting in explorer, the default by "Name" shows folders first, followed by files. But if I reverse the sort order (still by "Name"), it displays files first then folders below.
Is it possible to have folders always displayed first, regardless of how other sort options are chosen? Could be mistaken but back in XP didn't explorer always showed folders first?

View 7 Replies View RelatedFolders Sorting Once Opened?
Dec 29, 2012I have a large amount of photos saved in one folder and want them to be sorted by the date they were placed there, for some reason the "sort by date" feature doesnt do this, the "sort by date last saved" does work, however the problem i have is that when the folder is opened winodws spends 10 seconds or so sorting the photos by the sort criteria i was wondering if there is any way to get windows to save the position of each photo so it doesn't spend that time sorting each time i open it! The "sort by date created" manages to show the photos as soon as the folder is opened without needing to spend the time sorting, the problem is this sort criteria doesn't quite have the photos in order. a few are randomly placed here and there.

Feb 28, 2012The problem I'm having is that when sorting my inbox by 'From', it says no items are there and the bar spins along as if it's searching.

View 1 Replies View RelatedExplorer Stops Sorting Files?
Jun 24, 2011My Windows 7 64-bit install keeps "forgetting" to sort folders by name (or by anything for that matter). When I right click and select "Sort by..." in an affected folder there is no bullet indicating that ANY sorting behavior is selected. I can manually reselect "Sort by name" but the trigger is so common that this doesn't stick for long. This drives me nuts having become accustomed to organizing things alphabetically. Anyway the trigger for all this is very puzzling. If I drag a file from one folder to another so that it drops in between two other files (i.e. when that little dividing bar shows up to show you where the file will drop), that folder loses its sorting. If I cut and paste the file with the keyboard this doesn't happen, it's only when I move the file with my mouse. I should mention that this is also when using icons rather than a list.
View 4 Replies View RelatedDesktop Icon Sorting Arrangement
Aug 15, 2011I don't use desktop icons much, except for temporary files, but even so, it would be very useful for me to be able to set the default arrangement in a different fashion than seems to be available in the Desktop View Menu. I would like to have all icons arrange horizontally, starting at the top of the screen, rather than vertically, as seems to be the design. I know that I can turn off the auto arrange function and place the icons in that fashion manually, but when I reboot, some will remain horizontal, while others go back to vertical. I also know that I could turn off aligning to grids, and they probably would stay horizontal, but I would like to let that remain active for ease of arrangement.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSorting Files With Windows 7 Explorer
Nov 19, 2012I would like to help people who are as irritated with Windows7 explorer as I am. Second, I would like to spark a reaction from Windows developers and maybe understand why the -7explorer is as painful as it is.I would like to sort, rename and visualise the large number of photos I have. While everything was working perfectly with the previous Windows versions I had, these basic tasks have become nearly impossible with Windows7. Cancelling the automatic sorting is difficult, renaming files results in the explorer getting lost and visualising files per alphabetic order appears to be impossible. Finally, even having a good layout on the screen is mission impossible after moving or renaming a few files. At this point I hasten to add that I am not a beginner with windows or computing in general. I have used previous Windows versions for years both at home and at work, and can do my own bits of code if needs be.The only solution found so far: After doing a fair amount of reading (and wasting a lot of time), I decided the only solution was to go for an alternative to Windows7 explorer. I personally chose to download FreeCommander but there are many other alternatives. So far it answers all my needs and I have stopped using Windows7 explorer.My question to Windows developers:Why on earth wreck a product that worked so well before? This is beyond me and I would sincerely like to understand. Anyway my message is as simple as the problem: Microsoft you should be careful, there is a lot of competition out there and if you continue to upset regular customers to such an extent, it is only a matter of time before someone else takes over!

View 1 Replies View RelatedD Drive Slow When Sorting - Fine When Renamed As G
Jun 26, 2012When I try to sort a directory with a bunch of files it takes forever! I have a similar E: drive with a comparable amount of files and it's almost instant. So I figure that maybe the disk is going bad. So I get another disk and copy all my files from the d: drive to the new drive. Then I reassign the old drive to "G:" and the new drive (call it swap) back to "D:". Now the old drive (which is now "G:") sorts almost instantaneously and the new swap drive "D:" again take forever to sort! Now if I rename D: to "F:".. The sort is instantaneously! There is something with having the drive called "d:" which is screwing something up! What am I missing? Indexing is checked for all drives.

It's when you copy/paste files into a folder and they instantly disperse and sort themsleves upward within the list of files, instead of staying at the bottom of the list Waiting until a refresh/close action to then find their place.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecent Documents On Start Menu - Sorting In Alphabetical Order
Oct 28, 2011I gave up trying to get the Recent Documents link to work on the Start Menu - what is the point of them being in alphabetical order? So I just created a shortcut to the Recent folder on my desktop and started using that. But even there I can't keep it sorted in 'date modified' order. It stays that way for an hour or so, but when I go back the folder has sorted itself in alphabetical order again, and I have to start right-clicking again! Maddening. I did once get the link on the Start Menu to sort in date order, but I don't recall how I did it sadly - I certainly can't get it to work now. But surely the folder itself should stay in the sort view I set for it? Why does it change back all by itself and how can I fix it so that it stays in date modified order?

All goes fine until the "Vista will boot for the first time" step. After this first boot, the screen returns to the "completing installation" page. However, the process dies here and the progress bar across the bottom of the screen never moves, even after an hour. Reformatted the partition and started over with same results.

Upgrading Vista To Windows 7 Without Installing Vista First?
Mar 23, 2012I have a legitimate copy of Windows Vista with key codes etc and I have a legitimate upgrade disk for Windows 7. I had Windows 7 installed on a previous system build which had a HD crash and now I am starting again from scratch (wiyh backed up data).
Like a dolt, I installed Wondows 7 before I remembered it was an upgrade edition. I've looked all over the MS site and don't see a method I can use to Activate Windows 7 from this point. way to use my legitimate Windows disks and keys without having to wipe the drive, install Vista and then install Windows 7 yet again.
It's aggravating to have legitimate software and not be able to use it without needing to trick the system - surely there is a way to not have to start all over?
